Musical Chairs BlogFest

This thread is now a Sticky. Why? Two reasons...

1) Mac snuck up behind me, knocked me down and made me a Mod last night. So, um, hi. I have new buttons and no clue what I'm doing, yet.

2) The Musical Chairs BlogFest has caught the interest of many an AWer, so we're going to make this a regular thing. Each month, a slightly varied "game" will take place where you all can flex your writing muscles and try something new.

I'll update this post each month to reflect the current game and list of participants, plus past games.

Why don't we do a blogfest related to genres? A sort of musical chairs.

As in, why don't we all list our names, websites and preferred genre. Then through a fair and scientific method *cough* drawing names from a cup *cough* we'd each be assigned to a genre different than our own. Each of us would be responsible for writing a flash piece (under 1000 words) in our assigned genre during the month of January.

So what do you think? If you're interested, post your info and let's start the chain game...

As you post and have a direct link, make a comment with the link so I can update this list! All links should be up to date if you left us a direct link. Email me with any concerns or changes in case I don't check AW fast enough!

And AW shortens the links, btw! So make sure when you post on your blog that you use the full link for everyone!

I have the feeling this is my fault, so it's okay to blame me for the idea...

The blog, which may not be updated regularly enough. -- I'm linking to other AW blogs here. -- There's some nonsense here when I can be bothered.
Don't hold your breath...

I didn't know about this until BigWords begged me to be a part of it. I'm in!

╔milie Poissenot (but Aheila is my online pen name)http://thewriteaholicblog.wordpress.com/
I write... gosh... Urban Fantasy, Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Poetry/Lyrics...
Like Claire my shorts (and novel subplots) are all over the place.
I kind of have a "quest to a better writerly me through experimentation with genres." *laughs*

I'd like to play, too, if possible. I was in the December blog chain, but I'm not a published author so don't have an identifiable genre. I think I lean toward mystery/crime fiction. At least that's my WIP novel.
